Hardcore tourism

So I went to Italy with my girlfriend and my parents for a much needed one week vacation. We had a great time, good food, plenty of wine and good times.

We visited several cities and lots of places worthy of any tourist, amongst the most tourist-infested was Venice. I did not let the tourist madness make me lose my mind though. I kept it cool and still managed to focus on the really important stuff…

I hear there are lots of pretty architecture, gondolas, bridges and stuff like that to see in Venice. But come on, “Ecks Vs. Sever” on the GameBoy Advance is pretty sweet too!

It’s all about the wireless baby

The last passage from this article nicely delievers a buzzkiller of truth to Eye-Fi’s upcoming wi-fi memory cards:

There are currently digital cameras on the market that offer built-in wireless networking, but they haven’t exactly taken the world by storm. Given that you can buy a 2GB memory card for less than US$30, you’ve got to wonder whether consumers will be willing to cough up US$100 just so that they don’t have to go through the hassle of hooking up a USB cable.

Very true, but the sad part is that personally I would easily fork over an additional $70 for some wireless sexiness. You see, I’m a sucker for anything wireless.

Indeed I am. I’ll readily admit that I’m a total sucker for any and all wireless gadgets. It’s like a disease. I just can’t help myself. I just find the “no need for cables”-thing so cool, even if it is hardly a new and revolutionary thing by now. It doesn’tmatter if I really need the gadget in question or not, if it’s wireless it is just that much sexier to me and I want it bad.

I remember fondly back in the eighties when our family got our first TV that came with a remote control. It was the coolest thing ever! Just imagine the joy of not having to get up and walk over to the TV when flipping the channel! Now that’s life changing technology if there ever was any.

Bluetooth, wi-fi, even infrared, I love them all. Sweet wireless technology be mine, now and forever.
